wow, i went there with a friend who wnated me to try a differnt moroccan restaurant ( I love moroccan food) and the restaurant was beautiful (set-up) but the food was just average and for such a small portion, the food was extremely pricey ! Was very disapointed and for sure i will never go back !
I'm gonna stick to my moroccan of choice : zerza. At least, the food there is reasonably priced and much much better.

Overpriced, overpriced, overpriced. Yeah, and not worth it.

I tried this place for a pre-Broadway meal with a friend. We'd seen the reviews and decided to try Tagine anyway b/c I'd bought a $25-off certificate from Restaurant-com or something like that, and thought it would be a nice bite beforehand and way to try a new place.
We ordered a tray of three mezzo appetizers ($18) that wasn't bad, but wasn't worth the $. She had a glass of Argentinian red wine the waitress suggested ($12), I had a bottle of Moroccan lager ($8) - both unremarkable. She ordered the lamb tagine ($23.75) which had decent texture but was incredibly bland; I had a pheasant pie (""Bastilla"" - $22.95) which came out delicious and sweet although smallish, an almond and confectioner's sugar-topped cross between baklava and a meatpie.
The service was adequate, unlike that of some other reviewers here, although that may have been because we were the only diners in the restaurant shared by three staff at 7pm on a Thursday evening.
The bill came to $80.30 even WITH the $25 off; they also included (get this) a built-in 25% tip!!! ($64.30 + $16 tip). The bill came with no mention of the included gratuity from the waitress or written on the credit card slip, but it did have a line for me to add a tip.
For the food we got, I definitely do not intend to return. Too bad, as I live less than 4 blocks away.

our large group was treated generously

unlike the other reviewer, we booked a birthday for 20 diners and a larger party for drinks. We were seated immediately and I had spoken with Toni and organized a prix fixe family style dinner which was a great idea. The portions were large and generous. More importantly the cuisine, every dish, was absolutely mouthwatering yummy. The drinks were generous, strong and well priced as compared to other restaurant where I have hosted parties. The dancers were great fun and made sure we were given these jingly scarves. The service was great, and it was so helpful to have Toni hosting the party and directing every last detail, she also introduced the chef to us...sooo cute! We were given complimentary ROUNDS of shots and the bday girl received a bottle of Moroccan wine. I was so happy that I made the reservation and ignored the negative reviews...will return again and again. Thank you Tagine

Extremely Pricey. Large Groups might get overpriced.

by Vidville81 on 05/23/2009

I have been to this place 3 times. 1st two times took a friend and had a great time, we just went for a couple drinks and hookah (which are $25 each). My 3rd time I recommended it for my friend's Bday party. And service was not attentive, we were grossly overcharged! Be very careful and read your bill carefully if going in large groups. On our receipt we had 2 Watermelon martinis for $90, after my friend complained, a new receipt was generated which showed 2Watermelon martinis $60. Their menu said Watermelon martinis were about $14. We did not want to argue our bill, but all in all it was in the $450 dollar range for about 8people. I was a little embarrassed for my friends and the huge bill, since I had recommended this place. I am now hesitant to come again. After my last dissapointing visit.

Lush environment & tasty food

by jkuffer on 06/23/2008

It is rare that in midtown Manhattan you will find a place which is able to remove you from the noise and stress associated with the heart of NYC. Tagine, however achieves this with ease. \r
\r
Their main dish (for which the restaurant is named after) is tasty and comes out sizzling with a great home-cooked taste. Be aware, since so much goes into preparing this dish it takes a bit of time to prepare. The lamb version is my favorite... the meat melts on your tongue and is so tasty you don't even dare to swallow it. \r
\r
Waiting for this dish is certainly worth it. Once you sit down, you loose yourself in comfort by sinking, and getting up is very hard. Thats ok though, as the service is snappy (and cute!).\r
\r
To top it off, the dancing is great, and when they have live music it'll be the only time you want to get on your feet and groove with the bellydancers. They have a very interesting list of special events as well.\r
\r
As far as I am concerned, this place is highly recommended. Perfect to get away from the stress and hustle & bustle of the city. An awesome place for a date as well.

Excellent Dancer, mediocre food

by LGB13 on 03/02/2008

I had made reservations for Tagine for a friend's 49th birthday, interested in seeing a belly dance performance. The space is rather small and funky, but cozy, with lots of paintings on the walls and interesting lamps - in these days of upscale chic it was refreshing to experience a more eclectic environment - more like 1970's-1980's East Village. A rather curt waitress/hostess seated us and gave us menus. We were promptly given water and then our wine, but the appetizer took some time. When it did come it was very tasty, and, encouraged, we were looking forward to our entres. But the main course was extremely disappointing. Both dishes were rather bland, and (as it turned out) I was served something I did not order (since I didn't really know what to expect I didn't question it...). Given that the prices are not cheap (average was about $20.00 and the meal, with tip, for two was over $100) I had really expected something better. But the wine was good, and the belly dancer was great. The second waitress that served us was much friendlier (which helped), but I think if I am ever inclined to return I would just stick to the appetizers and wine and pass on the main course.

Budget Friendly, It Is Not!

by rigbe_green on 08/19/2007

I will start by saying that this restaurant was surprisingly small. I was there to attend a birthday celebration that had a guest list of about 20. Entering the restaurant, I was concerned that the cozy environment wouldn?t sufficiently accommodate such a large party. Luckily none of us had to eat out on the sidewalk or in the kitchen. \r
The next bit of shock came when we took a look at the menu. This place is pricy! And although the food was okay, the portions were pretty small.\r
Things perked up a bit when the belly dancers began to perform. Incredible performances! Very enjoyable! However, you will be charged a cover fee of about $5 per person for the experience. I don?t think this bit of information is mentioned on the online menu. \r
Overall, it was an okay experience. Although I don?t think I will be returning anytime soon.\r

Entertainment, good food.

by nishnish2000 on 08/15/2007

The food here is pretty good, it is different, if you aren't into trying new things, this may not be the place for you. chicken was very tender and well cooked, comes in a tagine (cone shaped) p*t.\r
entertainment is great, have belly dancers.\r
this place is quite pricy, but definitely worth a visit.
